Simon ,'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think it's time for some good news! (I always have to be different.)
A while ago a school bus with kids aged 4 to 10 caught fire. The driver got the kids off and to a safe place. Then she WENT BACK INTO THE BURNING BUS to make sure there wasn't anyone left on it. Good woman! She's received all kinds of praise - deservedly.
I just came here to report my election anxiety is near an all-time high. Then I read the recent posts here and now I feel better.
Also, I think an election anxiety group hug would be nice.
I think the tone of the texts and emails from Clinton's campaign are sort of panic-making, though. I get that they need every last dollar from now until Tuesday, but hello, more anxiety.
Right now they're mostly raising money for PACs which will help downballot candidates (SENATE!!!!), plus high voter turnout makes it easier to say "mandate" in January, but yes, those emails are not great for the blood pressure.
tommy, consider yourself hugged ... meanwhile, try this.
I have a bottle of fancy cider I keep forgetting to drink. I think I'll save it for election night.
I am down for an election anxiety group hug. Every day I play the 270 Game, adding up the numbers. I can't see how she could lose unless she loses every swing state, and that doesn't seem likely at all. But I'm still nervous. I couldn't believe GWB would win either, either time.
Thanks for the job~ma. -t does have a point. As does my co-worker who pointed out that there are two guys in our department who've been here 17+ years and are still Associates, having never been promoted; if anyone's going to be let go, logically it'd be them. (Not that I want that to happen to them. It's more like, I don't have to run faster than the bear, I just have to run faster than you.)

I need to get champagne.

I've seen so many posts about feminism and man-splaining that I saw "mandate" as "man-date", and I was trying to figure out how dating was tied into the election, and when we started gender-specifying dates.
A useful tip - in one week, if someone you don't know well asks you what you think of the election results, a safe response is, "I'm so glad it's over."
